He does not need to apologize. He has strong feelings, well found feelings about her being unfit to serve in the position.
He would have to apologize if he felt as he does and did not say anything, or said it in less than direct terms.

Of course he does. For repeating an easily provable lie. He's a Senator and should know better before he opens his big yap.
Help The Donald drain the swamp or get out of the way, Rand.
He accused her of doing something that she clearly did not do. He criticized her character based on something she did not do. I’d say that warrants an apology.
So you are OK with him telling a bald faced lie?
Strong feelings??? I have strong feelings about you being an aszhole, but I could be wrong.
I'm struggling with my strong feelings about apologizing to you.
Waddaya think? Or do you?
Reminds me of a song: ...Feelings, nothing more than feelings,...
You don’t think he should apologize for making specific false accusations against her simply because he “has strong feelings”?
“He does not need to apologize. He has strong feelings, well found feelings about her being unfit to serve in the position.”
So he’s a snowflake; it’s all about his “feelings”? What about the facts? The point of the article is that Mr Paul has is facts wrong and therefore his “strong feelings” are based on him being misinformed. You say he shouldn’t care about the facts, just his “feelings”. You called him a snowflake, which I never knew he was.
“Feelings” are emotions, not thoughts, though someone can work up some “feelings” because of their thoughts. But “feelings” can also be wrong, because they can come from mere immediate reactions without any good analysis of what the reaction is to and any choosing of what reaction is desired - just react.
Judgement, based on “feelings” and not what someone’s THINKING is is not judgement - just an emotional reaction.
I always counsel writers to never say “I feel” thus and so, when what is meant is “I think”, or “I believe”. Yes it is better to think than to merely “feel” - emote.
So which did Mr Paul do - merely feel, or think?
